GameSalad Introduces $99 iPhone Publishing

Austin, TX, October 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Gendai Games announces the introduction of the GameSalad Membership Program and the conclusion of the iPhone Early Access Beta Program. Members of the GameSalad Membership Program now have the ability to publish their GameSalad-made games to the iPhone at the cost of only $99 per year for an Express membership. The GameSalad Membership Program features two tiers of membership: the $99 Express membership intended for casual and prosumers, and the $1999 Pro membership intended for studios and professional developers.

Launched earlier this year, GameSalad empowers creative individuals with the tools to make their own games without the need to write a single line of programming code. Since the introduction of the iPhone game export feature, tens of thousands of aspiring and seasoned game developers have signed up and downloaded GameSalad Creator, the application that is used to develop custom games. As a member of the GameSalad Membership Program, creators gain access to GameSalad Viewer and the iPhone export service. GameSalad Viewer is an iPhone app that connects with GameSalad Creator through a wireless connection, allowing a game to be sent directly to the iPhone without having to go through an Xcode build process for testing and playing. The iPhone export service is the method by which a GameSalad-made game gets converted for submission to the iPhone App Store.

"Earlier this year, we introduced GameSalad, a visual and easy-to-use game creation tool, which eliminated a huge technical barrier for the 99% of people that don't know how to code", says Gendai Games CEO, Michael Agustin. "In only a few months, it has allowed tens of thousands of people to turn game creation into a lifestyle, from students and hobbyists to even creative professionals. Today, we are making that dream of making your own iPhone and Web games even more accessible by offering GameSalad membership at an unprecedented price. Traditional game development tools, while very capable, are extremely expensive and require large amounts of programming experience to use let alone get started. With GameSalad, people can begin making games day one and at a price that won't hurt their wallets."

GameSalad features:
* A community focused on game design and idea exchange
* Resources for game creation, including access to experts and interactive media
* Innovative tools for game creation that eliminate the need for advanced programming knowledge
* A platform for publishing and marketing user created games on the iPhone
